Okay let's get to my favorites of the week.

You do NOT have to a professional blogger/writer/person. You do have to be yourself.

Can't wait to hear from YOU!

I am sure you have all heard about it, but I saw The Greatest Showman a couple of weeks ago, and OMG, this is the BEST movie. You have to go see it on the Big Screen! The music, wow, speechless. I really hope it wins some awards. Anyway, can't wait for it to come out on video so I can buy it and just watch it on repeat.

This baby's reaction getting glasses is just the cutest.

Only three things today, I figured the big announcement would count for 3 things...so what are you waiting for? Pick a topic and sign up! I can't wait to hear what you have to say!
